I know that people who have lived elsewhere thought that it was pretty tame compared to what they've experienced in other places, but I would ask you to keep in mind that some of us have only ever lived here and experienced the weather here. Obviously even our most intense weather doesn't get as intense as it does in other parts of the country/world, but for what we normally experience, last night was both rare and exciting.

You might not make time for enjoying the sunny weather, but other people do and it's not because they don't have responsibilities.

Thu, 10 Nov 2011 07:58:15 +0000 http://www.komonews.com/weather/blogs/scott/133452153.html#IDComment219730278 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/131001733.html?#IDComment202697467 Whether this was a "real world issue" or not really depends on your perspective. It may not have been a "real world issue" on the scale of the issues you mentioned, but that doesn't mean it wasn't a "real world issue". Yes, the media hype surrounding this case greatly sensationalized it, but try telling anyone involved in it or anyone whose lives were affected by it that it wasn't a "real world issue".

Again, it's great if you enjoyed it, but a lot of people didn't. Doesn't mean we all want Texas weather. Just means we want our normal, which we didn't get. No need to take yourself so seriously. Mon, 26 Sep 2011 00:29:02 +0000 http://www.komonews.com/weather/blogs/scott/130225228.html#IDComment198817038 http://www.komonews.com/weather/blogs/scott/130225228.html#IDComment198282648 I've lived here my whole life, but that doesn't mean that I liked what we got for the first half of summer this year. It also doesn't mean that I'm itching to move to a place where it's 100 degrees everyday for three straight months and frankly I'm tired of people telling me and others like me that if we like hotter weather so much, we should just move. Most of us weren't calling for Texas-type heat and humidity. All we wanted was normal weather for Seattle and anybody that has kept track of the weather this year could tell ya that we weren't getting that for more than half of the year. If I remember correctly, I think we had lower than normal temperatures in every month from January to July this year. Again, I'm happy for you that you were comfortable with it, but some of us weren't. We wanted what we're used to and didn't really start to get until August.

I know that a lot of people who comment on this site about the weather would prefer it if it never got warmer than 75, but for hot weather fans, the last two years have been fairly depressing. I was still seeing my breath and wearing a heavy coat or a thick sweatshirt in the middle of the afternoon in July because it was barely reaching the 50's. I'm not saying that it needed to be 90 degrees everyday for three solid months, but enough was enough with the cool stuff.

A lot of men simply aren't taught to treat others, particularly women, with respect anymore. Maybe some parents should spend more time teaching their kids about respecting others and the choices they make than trying to shield them from every little thing they don't want them seeing. It would be a lot more productive to society and wouldn't cost a dime of taxpayer money.

I've seen much skinnier women than her. I'm with you on the tattoos though. Never been a big fan of those and don't find them, especially the larger ones, attractive on an otherwise attractive woman, but that's just my preference. I know there are people out there that find tattooed women very attractive and that's cool.

Then they're for as much government as is necessary to make them that money.

If they see someone they think they can do it to, it wouldn't matter if the woman was wearing a bikini or an ankle length, long sleeve dress, they're going to try it. I'm getting kind of tired of the "Well if she's gonna dress like a slut, she's gonna get treated like one" sort of excuse-making for people who commit crimes like that. Nobody deserves to get attacked regardless of what they're wearing and nobody should have to change what they're wearing just because other people can't control themselves.

With some of the outfits some of these women supposedly wear, it would be painfully obvious if she had pubes. Besides, unless she's blending your latte with her crotch, I doubt that the cup gets anywhere near that region.

I was beginning to think we'd go an entire summer without even a chance of seeing 90 degrees. I know cool weather fans aren't happy, but honestly... you've gotten your wish for most of the last two years and this year in particular. Let us hot weather folks have this one. We've had, what, 7 straight months of below normal temps this year already? I don't think it's too much to ask that we be allowed to enjoy a good two week stretch of hotter than normal temps.

Hopefully this one makes up for the June (and most of July) that we had this year.

Tue, 23 Aug 2011 02:49:07 +0000 http://www.komonews.com/weather/blogs/scott/128166513.html#IDComment185678119 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/127654203.html#IDComment183170759 I don't know about you, but I'd much rather be over-prepared for an event that never happens than be under-prepared for an event that does happen. The same people that whine and complain about every story like this getting so much attention would also complain if the news and government "failed to warn and protect" them because they (news/government) under-reported or under-emphasized the magnitude and probability of an event such as a large earthquake or a big snowstorm. Some people are just never satisfied. Mon, 15 Aug 2011 05:08:17 +0000 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/127654203.html#IDComment183170759
